Things are heating up and it’s starting to feel like summer. The layers of clothing are coming off and we’re getting ready to lighten the make-up load and go slightly more sheer. The first step to prepare is making sure that our skin is feeling up to scratch. If grainy facial exfoliants aren’t your thing, perhaps a chemical exfoliant will be?
What Are Chemical Exfoliants?
Chemical exfoliants are basically a treatment or serum that works to break down those dead skin cells and exfoliate your skin with chemicals rather than physically with a scrub. We know that sounds kinda scary, but they are part of our daily skincare routine here at HQhair, we LOVE them. There are two types of chemical exfoliants, AHA’s and BHA’s, and both do slightly different things. To find out more about what these miracle chemicals do, take a look at our Skin Care Essentials below!
